Cruciate ligament

collateral ligament and medial meniscus was confirmed. About 2 years ago I treated a similar injury sustained by a prospect receiver, Jamie Nelson, at Ohio State, which is why I assume I was referred for this case. However, Cowl is significantly older than Nelson and I’m worried I cannot produce the same results. This is why…

249-261 Engineering Design Process in Context: “Ligaments play an important role in stabilizing and balancing knee joint movement. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries remain a challenge in clinical and experimental settings due to the poor healing potential of ACL injuries.” This introductory sentence, found in the Abstract, sums up the first step…

A 30-year-old skier takes a sharp turn on the slopes and hears a dreaded “pop” in his right knee. He has ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)—a band of tissue that’s important for stabilizing the joint. After icing, compressing, and elevating his swollen knee, he visits the doctor. Now it’s time to decide on treatment. If he’s an elite athlete or has additional knee damage, the choice is fairly clear: reconstructive surgery to replace the ACL, plus intense physical therapy. But if he’s…

The Anatomy and Injury of the ACL This research paper will be over the Anatomy of the ACL, or Anterior Cruciate Ligament, and why it is injured so often by everyday people and athletes alike. The part covering the anatomy will go over the following: the location, what it is made of, structure, and its purpose. The part covering the injury will go over the following: different types of injuries and what happens during these injuries, why it is injured so much, diagnosis, the process of the…

participate competitively in sports for a long period of time are likely to benefit more from a hamstring graft. Making the right choice in reconstruction techniques is important to patients and their rehabilitation. The ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) is one of four main ligaments…

My Dog, Lola As humans, we have the ability to love. Love is hard to explain, but for my whole life, I have been told that I have so much love to give, especially love towards animals. One animal that I love very much is my dog, Lola. Lola is a pure bred Rottweiler and her story begins with the end of our former dog, Maggie’s story. Maggie was a rescued Rottweiler and when she passed, I, along with my family, wanted another female “Rottie” in the house. Unfortunately, months of searching left us…

Trunk displacement, and specifically lateral trunk displacement, predicted risk of knee, knee ligament and ACL injuries with high sensitivity and specificity in female, but not male, athletes(Hewett). A possible reason for this not showing up in males is because of the increased stiffness of male knees is partially protective against ACL injury, especially…

Sport related injuries have consistently been a problem throughout the years. The topic constantly makes headlines, and studies are continuously being performed to help make sports safer for everyone. While proper training and equipment is important in preventing injuries, these factors do not always rule them out. Participation in sports are growing, and we need to do our best to help prevent major problems. ACL injuries, concussions, muscle strains, and rotator cuff tears are some of the most…

Have you ever torn your ACL? If so, then you know that the recovery process can be long and challenging. The ACL, also known as the anterior cruciate ligament, crosses the PCL, posterior cruciate ligament, to form an “X”. It connects the tibia and femur, kind of like a long band, and it also hides behind the patella. The ACL keeps the tibia from moving too far forward and also controls the knee when rotating. Anyone can be at risk of an ACL injury, there are many different signs of the injury,…
